 Admittedly, I'm not very knowledgeable on spiritual power. I know a little bit about astrology. I don't own any stones and even worse guys. I don't like yoga. But what I can and do get down with is the chakras. Based out of India, it is a school of thought that there are seven centers of spiritual power in the human body. I am fascinated by this system, so I teamed up with artist Jodi Steele to bring the seven chakras to life through art. Hi, my name is Jodi Steele and I'm an artist who specializes in body art. The first is the root chakra. It represents our foundation and feeling of being grounded. The second is the sacral chakra, our connection and ability to accept others and new experiences. And apparently you guys, this is also the bomb sex chakra. The solar plexus chakra is our ability to be confident and in control of our lives. This is the good gut feeling. The heart chakra, of course, is all about the love. The throat chakra is about good communication. The third eye is the ability to see the bigger picture. And finally, the crown chakra. It is the highest one, representing our ability to be fully connected spiritually. While doing this project, I noted that my strength is in my chakra starting from the bottom and intended to get a little weaker as I moved up. It made me understand we are all aligned beautifully and uniquely, but perhaps not all completely. Experts say we should look at the chakras as seven energetic centers, which our energy flows through. Now, often when our emotions are out of balance, these centers become blocked, which can manifest as illness, aches or pains in the body. So it is extremely important to know which centers are which and how we can balance them. Now, as I've expressed in my video about my career, my third eye, AKA identifying and focusing on the bigger picture is absolutely not one of my strengths. I've seen this fault of mine manifest in many areas of my life, including my bad case of chronic tardiness and poor time management, my very responsive nature in which I often react first and consider the bigger picture later. And finally, my general discomfort around long-term planning. Now, contrastly, the artist that I worked on this project with Jody Steele has a very sharp third eye. She not only sees the big picture, she has also trained herself to recreate it through hours of practice via art. And since I learned so much from her based on our time together, I wanted to share a little bit of Jody's story with you. Were you born with a skill of drawing? You gotta tell those things that like, I just don't have it. So I don't even understand how one discoverer that can do it. Personally, I think everybody can draw. I just think it's something that's like hidden inside of people and they don't know that they can. I just had a very creative mother who like really pushed the arts in our household. And it is like a huge outlet for me for like any time that I'm like feeling down or even like really happy or anything. Like it's just, I like to put it out into art. I think when I did have body image issues, I definitely wasn't connecting with my own art as much. And it was the same reason I hadn't done a piece like on myself, like the body image one. Cause I had had that idea like months before I had actually done it. And I never felt like the timing was right. I think specifically with body art, it's for me sometimes it's really sad to see somebody who really wants to be drawn on but they're like, but I'm not, they're not comfortable with a certain part of their body. It's like, no, no, no, like you should embrace that like, you know who you are. And like it's art. So for me it's not about having like a super fit body to draw on. Like I think drawing on all sorts of people is really interesting and it's like aesthetically pleasing. And I think everybody should like have the experience of being painted on cause it's kind of cool. I think it's like a fluid thing and it's about being like very open minded. For me being bisexual it's always kind of been that way. Like I never felt like I was put in like a box that I was always like, it was always like people that I was drawn to in different ways and it was never like, you know, if they were male or female or whatever it was. So I think it makes you a better artist when you explore like a variety of different techniques. And I've worked with like every medium and I'm not necessarily fantastic with all of them but it's because it makes you a better artist when you like understand like, I don't know how different surfaces work and how different mediums work and people are the same way. Everybody's skin is different. So it's like I can't go in with one person thinking it's gonna be the same way as it is with other people cause it's generally not like, it's a shame that people aren't encouraged to be like really creative. Cause you know, you meet people in there, you know, like I can only draw a stick figure I can't draw and they say, I hate that like when people say I can't draw cause we're just like, no, no, no, you really can. Like, so I think it's the confidence like you need that, like, that I can draw. Like you have to start by saying that and then go at it cause nobody starts out great. And now I want to ask you guys those same questions. What are your strengths in your chakras? What are your weaknesses? And finally, what is one thing you will do to create balance in your life to become your own fullest potential?
